FORT SMITH (AP) — A federal jury has convicted two Rudy residents of mail fraud for allegedly bilking thousands of people out of more than $3.2 million in a letter-stuffing scheme.

Prosecutors said Friday the panel found Sharon Henningsen and Timothy Donavan guilty Thursday of one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and 18 counts of mail fraud.

Authorities alleged the two mailed false and misleading solicitation letters to more than 1 million people and invited them to buy materials to stuff and mail envelopes to make money while working from home. Officials say 21,000 people mailed checks and money orders totaling about $3.2 million to the pair from 2005 to 2007.
